mru (music review unsigned) in a nut shell are extremely dedicated music fans who review the best of the unsigned music world from around the world and introducing them to a wider audience like our self.

on the 9th may 2013 they had a massive launch party in dublin (ireland) with a great mix of bands and artistes going through the genres of music from acoustic folk through easy cool rock blues and alternative rock right to heavy rock with a tick of blues. if you were looking for music diversity you would find it here.

the acts on the two different stage in the mercantile venue had been jemson green, tristan carroll, dem fools, rachael mccormack, sal vitro, the enemies, the radioactive grandma, jimi cullen, ka tet. a great thanks to all the acts who showed us what they are made of.

for every one who were not able to come and join in we have made a small compilation of what had happed on the main stage and in the acoustic corner:

pål moddi knutsen or as we all know him as moddi had been visiting dublin and had been playing in the whelans venue on 10th aprli. he already caught our attention last month with his second album and we though did not know that we will be in luck to see him live on stage.
when he came on stage made you feel if you are sitting with him just in his house and listen to his talks and music. though he had been not travelling with his band it made it a tick more cosier and personal where he was sharing his thoughts and music with us. we have to thank him for spoiling us that night:

foals had been absence from dublin for a little while now, but with their new album “holy fire” in their pockets they came to dublin to play two sold out nights in the academy. they did not disapoint their fans and had played their classic songs and new songs, lucky enough for us we had the chance to catch ‘milk and black spiders’ live version which had not been played yet on stage live before. after the gig the fans had been standing around still in shock and disbelieve that the night was over. but it is sure that ‘foals’ are back and will be rocking few festivals around europe this summer which should not be missed.

bloc party had been back in dublin (ireland) for two nights, they have been given all and more on tuesday (12.02.2013) night in the olympia theatre. from the kick start with ‘so he begins to lie’ from their new album four right through to the end mixing up the deck with their all time favorites, closing with ‘helicopter’, they have been pushing hard and the absence of each other over the years just fused them together on stage.
the fans came and bloc party have delivered well over the norm and what you would have expected by mashing all four albums into a massive package where you are just asking for more though your ears are going already deaf. if you have the chance to see them on their current tour you will definitely not be disappointing. a great treat was as well to listen into their brand new full of energy packed with in your face attitude song ‘ratchet’.
if you did not had the chance to have seen them in dublin over this two days check out the playlist from tuesday:

another year comes to an end and it is time to feature the last playlist of music pulse in 2012. it had been a great year there had been plenty of newcomers on the scene with excellent debut songs and of course great songs of our favourite bands and artists, though indeed there had been as well great loses of artist who formed and influenced the music throughout the years.

never the less we all wish you a happy new year and we cannot wait what will be in stores for us in 2013.

once more the temper trap came back to visit dublin (ireland) for a night. this time they had their new album “the temper trap” in their pocket and they have been playing their favourites from their first album “conditions” to a sold out gig in the academy. the night was kicked off with kodaline warming up the crowed.
it had been one of this nights which you didn’t want to miss, and if you are not sure about it you just need to check the playlist

but not to weary they will be back soon and kodaline will be playing in the sugar club in dublin (ireland) this thursday (4th october 2012).

the berlin festival is a festival which is hosted in the historical closed down airport templehof in berlin (germany). it is compressed into 2 days with great band from around the world and from germany. the acts kicked off in the afternoon which helped a lot for the night owls of the festival visitors because the party did not stop until the morning due to the second part of the festival called club xberg which goes right thru the night until dawn.

electric picnic is a festival which is hosted in stradbally (ireland), they are bringing the big and small acts from around the world together for 3 greats days. this year they have been extremely lucky with the weather and every one had for sure a kind of holiday feeling. the festival does not only cater for the music fans they do have plenty of other things on the site, like comedy / arts and theatre where as well as a body and soul area where you can relax / chill and find some peace.

though we were able to only come down for the last day we were able to grab few great acts on stage:

knockanstockan is a small independent music and arts festival in the wicklow mountains (ireland), they brings a good 150 different kind of irish acts onto the stage which you would not be able to catch in one go. though the weather had been a typical irish summer weather with wind and from light to heavy rain with nice and warm sunny spells, it is well worth it not just for the scenery of where the festival is held but the acts are excellent and divers.
unfortunately we had only little time on one of the three day festival but we were able to catch sal vitro and the bambir on saturday:
